If you're planning on using the aerobars for shorter, higher-intensity efforts like a time-trial, then the S-Bend shape can give you slightly more leverage to put out maximal power. This is usually a better fit for triathletes and long-distance riders. Should I choose L-Bend or S-Bend extensions?If you don't have any previous experience using aerobars, we typically recommend the L-Bend aerobars because they put your wrists and arms in a more comfortable, ergonomic position. Aerobar Extensions, Armrest, and Armrest Pads.Secondary safety release mechanism prevents accidental release.Massive adjustability lets you fine-tune your fit - extension length, armpad fore-aft, armpad width and height ( Extension Riser Kit sold separately).Extensions are available in L-Bend or S-Bend.Ride with ease - no more time and energy wasted switching from road bike to aero bike.No tools required - remove or attach the clip on aero bars easily with the quick-release mechanism.Transform your current bike - switch from road to aero position on the bike you already own.Benefits of Quick Release Clip-on Aero Bars: Along with the Dual-Position Seatpost, the clip-on aerobars provides an optimized aero riding position on your road bike. The patented quick-release mechanism allows you to attach or remove the aerobars in a few seconds without any tools so you can choose the best riding position for any ride. Since Redshift met their goal so quickly, they’ve upped their fundraising goal to create a carbon fiber edition of the system, for an even lighter ride.The Quick-Release clip-on Aerobars let you switch from road to aero on-the-fly on the bike you already own. When you’re ready for a group ride, just pop off the aero bars and click the seat-post back for traditional road riding.Ĭheck out the Switch Aero System’s Kickstarter to get the first run of the design, priced at $225. Meanwhile, the dual-position seat-post moves the saddle slightly up and forward into an aero position to allow for optimal triathlon riding conditions-with a fuller leg extension and wider hip opening. Redshift’s aero bars are the first of its kind in the industry, featuring patent-pending, entirely adjustable arm-pads and bars. The Switch Aero System utilizes just two pieces to completely alter a bike’s geometry aero bars attach to the original handlebars using a quick-release clamp similar those found on many bicycle hubs. The design of the system is simple, yet expertly executed. “We wanted something we could switch back and forth easily.” This innovative design means riders can easily switch between sports without committing to a new bike. “All of the other products on the market for modifying traditional geometry to aero meant we had to abandon our original road setup,” says co-founder Erik de Brun. Ever considered getting into triathlons only to be deterred by the thought of adding a new bike to your quiver? The new Switch Aero System from Redshift Sports allows riders to transform any traditional road bike into an aerodynamic, tri-ready speed machine with just a few clicks-even during a ride-without fumbling for tools.
